I had a similar scenario when I first got the car. It was February so cold weather. The clutch would slip in 4th 5th and 6th gears, but when it got warmer it would not do it again. I had the garage look at it and they found nothing wrong, so I ignored it.

Since then I have had no more clutch slip at all. Did a lot of googling on cold weather clutch slip but in the end focused on the myriad of other problems instead.

Keep an eye on it, but use revs rather than torque to prolong clutch life.

My 2011 Cupra R had only 17,000 miles on it and the clutch started slipping last December, I noticed it slipping in 6th first on the motorway, and then it started slipping in 4th and 5th.

SEAT looked at it and I needed a new clutch and flywheel Was not a happy bunny, especially with my low mileage, they used the excuse - you don't know how the previous owner drove it. I had SEAT replace the clutch and flywheel - looking back now I wish I upgraded to Sachs

Mines slipping in 5/6th at the mo! Stage 1 88k so mines due a new clutch. Might aswell upgrade when you do.

If your struggling to get gears id get it done asap or you risk doing your gearbox aswell.
